ORLANDO, Fla. ? XOS Digital, a division of XOS Technologies, Inc., today announced that it is providing its newly released XOS Vault technology to North Dakota State University to help the school's athletic program capture, preserve, tag (with specific game-related data), organize, manage and distribute its collective sports history in digital format. The announcement was made today by Dan Aton, XOS co-founder and chief innovation officer.

In its current archives, North Dakota State has hundreds of hours worth of content in various mediums that encompass print, photo, video, audio and film formats. All of these formats are susceptible to decay and deterioration over time, but by using the XOS Vault technology they will now be preserved for decades to come in digital format.

“The XOS Vault allows us to protect our valuable content history in a way that didn't exist until now,” said Bison Athletics Director Gene Taylor. “We want to ensure that all of our memories, encompassing everything from our greatest victories to our biggest upsets, are forever preserved so that our fans can relive them for generations to come.”

The school's athletic program will leverage the XOS Hosted Vault?, one of three technologies under the XOS Vault umbrella. Basically, the school will send its content assets in their various mediums to XOS Digital to digitize (ingest) for storage at the XOS Hosting Facility, a highly secured data center located in Orlando, Fla. Once ingested, Bison Athletics staff can access the content via a Web portal from anywhere, on or off campus, to search, manage and distribute.

Among some of the content that awaits ingestion into the XOS Hosted Vault:

• Men's Basketball vs. Kansas State (Dec. 9, 2006)
• Football vs. Sam Houston State (Sept. 14, 2007)
• Women's Basketball vs. Oral Roberts (Dec. 8, 2008)

 “The XOS Vault will preserve and host a wide variety of valuable sports assets for North Dakota State,” Aton said. “It will also add value by making these assets indexed and searchable. We've found the school's athletic department to be extremely innovative, placing a high priority on the advancement of its digital technologies to help it succeed with both mission-critical and fan-facing initiatives. We're pleased that they have chosen to add this revolutionary new technology to their technology repertoire.”

XOS has a longstanding history with North Dakota State, having worked with it for a number of its digital media and technology needs. In 2005, the XOS Facilities Design and Integration division installed the latest communications technology within the Fargodome football offices and, more presently, it is serving as the department's A/V design specialist for the Bison Sports Arena. In addition, the school currently uses the XOS Director Football video editing technology, the Vega Basketball video editing system, and plans to upgrade to the XOS Thunder Hoops platform this year.

In addition to North Dakota State University, XOS provides the XOS Vault technology to the PAC-10 Conference (its first XOS Vault partner which is using the XOS Hosted Vault), the Southeastern Conference (using the XOS Campus Vault at its headquarters and at all of its 12-member schools in conjunction with its SEC Digital Network), the University of Alabama, the University of Arkansas, Auburn University, the University of Florida, the University of Georgia, the University of Kentucky, Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, the University of South Carolina, the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt University.
